The photos are great you have captured some fantastic moments – many thanks. It was such a great day, we had the most amazing day.
A while back I photographed to gorgeous Wedding at Inchyra Estate of Chris and Sarah. Chris had found me on Instagram as he’s a keen photographer himself. Even though it was a relatively small wedding, it lent itself perfectly to my style of documentary wedding photography. I flew up to Edinburgh the day before and in the…

A documentary wedding photographer should be all about telling a story.
It’s about weaving the images together to tell the tale of your wedding day.
You may look at my wedding photography on this website and see that my work is somewhat different from “the traditional wedding photographer”.
This genre of photography has several different names; wedding photojournalism, documentary wedding photography and reportage wedding photography.
I don’t believe there is any difference between the three names generally, apart from, perhaps, what the bridal magazines see as the fashionable way to describe natural, storytelling wedding photography.
Hello. I’m Kevin and I’m a multi-award winning wedding photographer, based in Wiltshire, UK, but shooting weddings right across the UK, Europe and beyond.
I specialise in telling stories, through pictures, of your wedding and I promise not to make you say cheese, not to boss you around or in fact direct you in any way.
The style of wedding photography I shoot is known as documentary wedding photography, or reportage wedding photography.
It’s a cliché, I know, but I am actually passionate about photographing weddings authentically, without any interaction at all.
If your idea of “wedding hell” is the traditional bossy photographer and huge amounts of staged, boring group shots then I think I may have just the thing for you.
Please explore this site (start with the Wedding Photofilm above) and then, when you are ready, take a look at my wedding portfolio, blog and featured weddings.
Part of my ongoing series of images where I discuss some of my recent work. This is from a recent Oxfordshire Wedding that I shot in the late Autumn.
The first time a bride and groom see each other on their wedding day is a very special moment in their own personal history.

You spend a lot of money and time planning your wedding.
I believe that as the bride and groom you should be able to spend your day with your friends and family.
My promise as your wedding photographer is to allow that to happen. I have over ten years of experience, shooting nearly 500 weddings and I’m very proud of the fact that every single one of my weddings has delivered an honest, true and beautiful set of storytelling images.
I am an official Fujifilm Ambassador wedding photographer that photographs honestly, without any reliance on filters, bulky lighting systems or assistants.
You’ll probably not even notice I was there.
I want to photograph your wedding and deliver images from the perspective of one of your guests. I’ll blend in, observe and be the curator of your wedding day memories.
You will get pictures that take you right back to that moment in time and I do that by being a part of your wedding using small cameras and being as discreet as possible.
Don’t forget to also take a look at some of my featured weddings and you may also be interested in my notes on black and white wedding photography.
You may also want to check out my “Why I Love These Pictures” series; in this series, I take individual pictures from recent weddings and explain why I took the image and what it means to me, as the photographer.
It’s been updated for 2019 with new images, complete weddings and photofilms. I’d love you to take a look.
Whenever I’m present at a wedding, I see it as a privilege but also as my responsibility to be the curator of memories for the bride and groom.
The pictures I make for people at their wedding are not just for them, they are for their children and their children’s children.
My approach and philosophy to photographing weddings are as a storyteller.
I want my clients to look at their wedding images and remember the exact moment in time.
I have no intervention with the images.
Each and every single image on this website is a real moment in time; a moment that has happened without any direction or guidance from me, the photographer.
Even though I have no interaction with the moment in the photographs, I am still bound by the core principles of good photography;
notably the understanding of light, composition and moment.
I believe that first and foremost I am an observer at a wedding.
Anybody can press the shutter button on a camera but only the person behind the lens can see what they are seeing.
My ultimate goal is to tell the true story of my clients day through beautiful, emotion-filled photography that is an authentic documentary of their wedding.
Wow! Not really sure where to start.....We had high expectations for how these photographs would turn out but really, these have blown us away! Totally amazed at how intimate these shots are and yet so many of our guests thought that we didn't have a professional photographer there. You have captured the true characters of our family and friends and yet I would imagine that to most you barely even uttered a word......who ever said you needed words to tell a story....so, so impressed.``
